Welcome from NC! I find buying fat quarters really adds alot of variety to my stash. I buy some solids, or tone on tones to add with them, but for alot of quilts, & blocks, you just need a little fabric, so the fqs work great. So, if you find you like lots of colors, or different fabrics in your quilts, then try that! Main thing, enjoy, & find what works for you! Good luck & happy quilting, it's a great hobby, or passion, as some of us prefer to call it, lol!...

Thanks for such a warm welcome! I see Tennessee is well represented. I'm addicted to quilting...it's a whole new world... and allows me to do what I can at my own pace. I don't think I can reach the level of most of you but I feel encouraged even at my beginner level. Thanks to all of you... GrandPa

Hello and welcome. Just wanted to add my 2 cents about building your supply. Try a local sewing factory. You can p/u lots of nice sized pieces of fabrics for free. One factory in my area does government contracts so they always have lots of camo-type scraps which I use to make quilts for CitizenSam. It's an organization that send quilts to our troops to let them have a little piece of home and lots of appreciation. Most of the quilts go to hospital bound soldiers when they are being sent home. Good luck with building your stash.
